Just noticed one side of my ZRE blade is cracked (other side is fine) and wondering if anyone can recommend a diy repair?

If you don't repair it, you can buy a blade from ZRE and replace the blade onto your shaft.

I cracked the handle on mine - sent it back and they repaired it pronto. Great service.

Replacing shaft/blade is not too big of a deal. It's epoxied, so all you need is a heat gun. They give good instructions.
